Jefferson Airplane Guitarist Gets ‘O Brother’ Blues



POMEROY, Ohio (Wireless Flash) – Jefferson Airplane’s former guitarist has a new CD coming out, but don’t expect Airplane-style trippy acid rock – this one’s straight out of O Brother Where Art Thou? Jorma Kaukonen says folks may be surprised to hear him play acoustic country blues, but he thinks the current success of O Brother will help his new album, Blue Country Heart, become a big international hit. But don’t accuse Kaukonen of trying to cash in. He says he’s been wanting to do this record for years and claims the fact that it’s marketable now has nothing to do with anything. Blue Country Heart hits stores June 11.
